Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Poison? Huang Jing, what do you mean by that?"

Huang Lan looked at Huang Jing in front of her with a shocked look. When Chu Xi told her about this plan, she was still skeptical, thinking that her sister would not do such a rebellious thing. After all, she had always treated her with sincerity. Although there were conflicts between them sometimes, there was no overnight hatred between sisters.

Moreover, so many years have passed. If his imperial sister really wanted to cause a reaction, she should have done it long ago. Why did she wait until her grandson came back before taking action?

But the facts were there, and Huang Lan had to believe that his sister really had the intention of rebellion.

"What do you mean? Sister, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Isn't it obvious enough now?"

Prince Jing suddenly turned around and glared at Huang Lan angrily: "I want you, my sister, to write an imperial edict and pass the throne to me."

"You...how dare you do this?"

Huang Lan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he pointed a trembling finger at Huang Jing.

"Haha... why wouldn't I dare? I, your Royal Sister, have been eyeing this position for more than 20 years, not just one or two days. I originally wanted to let you stay on the throne for a few more days, and then pass the position to me after you die. But I didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes, and the eldest grandson suddenly appeared halfway through. Tell me, isn't it infuriating?"

Huang Jing spoke in an aggressive tone, blurting out all that was on his mind.

"So you are threatening me now?" Huang Lan asked coldly, narrowing his beautiful phoenix eyes.

"This shouldn't be considered a threat, but rather a choice for you. If my sister is willing to obey, she may be able to enjoy her old age in peace. If she doesn't cooperate, don't blame me for doing it myself."

"How could you do such a rebellious thing? I am your sister."

Huang Lan was so distressed that his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"Hehe...what does this count for? I have done much more than this. Sister, do you still remember Qi'er? Your eldest daughter?"

"Qier?"

How could Huang Lan not remember? That's his own flesh and blood.

"Did she die in the same way as the eldest grandson of the emperor who is now known as the proud son of heaven?"

"Is it...you who did this?"

Huang Lan suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, I poisoned her to death because she was too dazzling at the time."

"Qier... my Qier... my sister, how could you hurt me like this? How have I ever let you down?"

Huang Lan was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Imperial sister has not done anything wrong to me, but you deserve to die for being in this position. I was only born a few years later than you, why should you let your sister get all the benefits? You are the king and I am the minister, and you make me always inferior to you."

"Then you can't harm my child like this, can you?"

"Whoever lets her block my way must die."

"You bastard, I'm going to fight you..."

Huang Lan was so angry that she lost all her mind. She jumped up from her chair and stretched out her hand to pounce on Huang Jing.

But her movements were too slow and were seen through by the martial artist Huang Jing. Huang Jing just slightly turned sideways and missed, falling directly to the ground.

"Imperial sister, you are old. You can't beat me like this..."

Huang Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Huang Lan who was lying on the ground. She looked miserable, with messy hair and no expression at all. She looked like a crazy woman.

Huang Lan's mouth was full of sarcasm, and then he shouted in a cold voice: "Someone come..."

At this time, the door was opened, and several confidants came in, including the Sixth Aunt who often served Huang Lan. They bowed respectfully to Huang Jing and said, "Greetings, Prince Jing..."

"Have you dealt with the people outside?"

"Replying to Prince Jing, everything has been arranged."

"Is General Ye here?"

"Not yet... not yet, but they are on the way." A confidant standing in the front answered respectfully.

"Okay, then we won't wait any longer. Sixth Aunt, come and help His Majesty draft the imperial edict."

"Yes"

The palace maid named Sixth Aunt walked quickly to Huang Lan. Just as she was about to reach out to help Huang Lan, a crossbow arrow shot through her palm. Sixth Aunt couldn't help but scream in pain.

"Wait a minute. I don't think we should rush to draft this imperial edict. After all, the winner has not yet been decided..."

Everyone in the hall looked towards the door where the voice came from, and saw Chu Xi slowly walking in with a crossbow in his hand.

Huang Jing saw the person who had just died lying on the bed suddenly standing here intact. He couldn't help but frown, and his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Aren't you dead? Why are you here?"

"Well...he was indeed dead just now, but he is alive again now."

Chu Xi shrugged helplessly and smiled at Huang Jing.

"What do you mean? What do you mean you've died and come back to life?"

"Even if he didn't die, Prince Jing, don't you think it's a pity?"

Huang Jing found it unbelievable. Didn’t Yaer see her swallow the poison with her own eyes? That was the worst poison in the world.

How come he's still alive?

Did Yaer lie to her?

Impossible... Yaer would never lie to her, so what was going on?

Chu Xi saw Huang Jing frowning in thought with an unpredictable expression, and guessed that she must be confused about why she was not poisoned?

So she smiled and joked: "Prince Jing frowned so deeply, what are you confused about?"

"Weren't you poisoned? Why aren't you dead?" Prince Jing finally realized that something was wrong, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, I was poisoned, but I accidentally cured the poison myself. Do you think I'm surprised or not?"

Chu Xi spread his hands, his tone sounding very helpless.

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible... The poison is so strong... Even the witch who developed the poison couldn't make an antidote. How could a yellow-haired girl like you have such ability?"

"Prince Jing, isn't there an old saying that there are always people who are better than you? There are so many things that you think are impossible..."

"Heh... Even if you're not poisoned, so what? The palace is full of my people now. None of you will survive tonight."

Huang Jing quickly calmed down. When she instructed Huang Xiaoya to poison someone, she was afraid that one day such a situation would occur, where she would fail to poison and be killed instead. So when she entered the palace, she had already ordered people to surround the entire palace.

"Prince Jing, do you really think I'm stupid? How could I not notice your little action?"

Chu Xi asked back with a smile, then she raised her hand, and a group of guards appeared beside her, all drawing their swords and pointing them at Huang Jing and her confidants in the hall.

"What's going on? Didn't you say everything was arranged?"

Seeing this situation, Huang Jing turned to look at his confidant angrily and questioned him harshly.

"I mean it's all arranged, but I'm sorry... I didn't say that to you..."

The confidant suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Huang Jing, then he raised his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his iconic silver hair. Taking advantage of Huang Jing's moment of surprise, Yi Yue Haotian quickly protected Huang Lan and came to Chu Xi's side.

The situation changed again.

"It's you... Yi Yue Haotian... Didn't you go to Tianming Continent?"

Huang Jing stared with horror in her eyes.
